When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel", "Hansel and Gretel", and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style.

Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are unquestionably two of the greatest epic masterpieces in Western literature. Though more than 2,700 years old, their stories of brave heroics, capricious gods, and towering human emotions are vividly timeless. The Iliad can justly be called the world’s greatest war epic. The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns. The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and adventures Odysseus must pass through on his long journey home from the Trojan wars to his beloved wife.

Publisher's Summary
Charlotte Brontë's classic novel, Jane Eyre, brings to life the ups and downs encountered by the book's namesake, the young Jane Eyre. Orphaned at an early age, Jane is raised by her aunt, Mrs. Reed, who treats her poorly. Fortunately for Jane, she is sent away to the Lowood School, but she soon encounters more maltreatment at the hands of the headmaster.
Jane remains at the school as a student for six years and eventually becomes a teacher, working at Lowood for an additional two years. She later moves to the manor known as Thornfield, where she accepts a nanny position, and it is there that she encounters the famed Mr. Rochester, with whom she falls in love. Though she is relatively happy at Thornfield, she suspects that there are secrets that are being kept from her, one of which is revealed on the day that she is to marry Mr. Rochester.
The revelation of this secret forces Jane to leave Thornfield, and when she does, not only does she meet some long-lost family members, she also finds out that she has inherited something that will help her on her journey. Despite the pain that Mr. Rochester caused her, Jane cannot deny her feelings for him and at the end of the novel makes the decision to pursue love rather than hang on to her selfish pride.

Did a computer generate this?
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
This can't be a real person reading this. She pauses at inappropriate places and her pronunciations are that of a computerized voice, for instance saying the un in uniform as if it were the un in undivided. I was stuck in the car for two hours listening to this and thought I would lose my mind.
How could the performance have been better?
See above
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The book is fine; it's the narrator/aka computer.

Couldn't get through the first 10 minutes
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I'm sure the story is probably great, it's a classic after all. The performance, however, is awful. The woman sounds like her voice is computer generated. If there is a way to get a refund for this purchase, I would sure love to know how.
What didn’t you like about Andrea Giordani’s performance?
She sounded like her voice was computer generated. I couldn't listen to even 10 minutes of this recording.
